April 2014 Margate paedophile jailed for five years A MAN who incited a 13-year-old girl to engage in sexual activity has been jailed for five years and two months. Terry Loader, 21, previously of Poets Corner in Margate, was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court on April 4 after an investigation by Kent Police’s child exploitation investigation team. Loader pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing indecent images of children, arranging and facilitating the commission of a child sex offence and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity. He was arrested on September 11 last year after officers suspected that he was using instant messaging applications on his mobile phone to communicate with a 13-year-old girl. Data from his phone was downloaded and it revealed a vast quantity of sexualized conversations, including encouragement for the girl in question to engage in sexual acts. The search also uncovered 55 indecent videos. Detective Constable Jon Baker, who investigated Loader’s offences said: “This case acts as a reminder to parents of children who have mobile phones to speak to them and help them understand the precautions they should take when using the internet, or the many instant messaging services that are available. “These services are fantastic for connecting people around the world, but it is inevitable there will be a minority of people who will use these services for the wrong reasons. “Children should only communicate with people that they know personally, and report any suspicions or inappropriate advances from strangers to the police.”
